title: Global stability results for epidemic models with latent period.
abstract: In this paper, we analyse epidemic models with latent period. These models are characterized by the presence of the E class, that is, the class of population exposed to infection but not yet infectious. Global stability results are obtained for the nontrivial equilibrium for these models.
